AI insight

AI-generated

Iran war fears and Strait of Hormuz disruptions cause oil supply scarcity, pushing Brent above $107 and US crude above $102. Higher oil prices feed inflation expectations, lifting US Treasury yields and pressuring Asian equities. The channel is supply_shortage via logistics (Strait of Hormuz) and input_cost pass-through to energy importers. Impact is global but acute for Asian net importers (Japan, South Korea).
